Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is to be remembered that a child when born is in its first year, and at the end of that year is one year old, and so on until he arrives at his fourteenth anniversary, and is then in his fifteenth year. At the end of that year he becomes fifteen years of age, and immediately thereafter starts into his sixteenth year. The statute is not ambiguous in designating the age limit between the ages of seven and fifteen years. The word ‘inclusive’ can only mean the years between the seventh and fifteenth years, and would include the seventh anniversary of a child’s birth, and the fifteenth anniversary of his birth, and would not include the period between his fifteenth and sixteenth year. . . .””
